Chapter 183: Storm Rising and Cloud Falling
Although Xiongba was angry, he did not lose his mind. If he took action himself, he would definitely win, but it would be a bit cheap.

The opponent is just a level 15 small account, it would not be glorious if I won.

Moreover, he felt vaguely uneasy. The other party was so confident, he must have some kind of support. It would be better to let Yun Xiaoke go.

If they win, it means they are his subordinates, which proves that Tianxiahui is very powerful. If they lose, he will have room for maneuver.

Of course, in his opinion it should be impossible to lose.

The opponent most likely has some special skills or items that can help you win by surprise, but in a life-and-death duel you can set whether to disable elixirs, spells, and magical tools. As long as they are all disabled, there is no need to worry about him being able to do something special.

Thinking about this, he sent a private message to Yun Xiaoke.

Xiongba: Ban everything that can be banned.

Yun Xiaoke was stunned. He had prepared a lot of spells and elixirs for this duel, some of which were top-grade. He didn't expect that the boss would let him ban them all...

But he also realized that since the opponent, who was level 15, dared to challenge him in a one-on-one duel, he must have some special props, otherwise it would be impossible for him to win just relying on his own attribute skills.

Oh, right! My subordinates seemed to have mentioned that this guy has a magical weapon that can scare people!
I can't let myself get caught, unfortunately, if I do that, I won't be able to use the magic weapon on me...

Long Xingtianxia looked at the two sides who were about to fight and shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that the newcomers nowadays were so tough.

"Since this is the choice made by both of you, I won't say anything. However, as the president of the Dragon Knights, I have to supervise you to conduct this life-and-death duel fairly and impartially. Dragon Knights, drive away the crowd and maintain order."

The two teams of knights around immediately began to circle the land, forming a circular cavalry team, squeezing the crowd around.

Some people avoided immediately when they saw the situation was not good, but some people at a higher level were unhappy.

"Hey, President Long, your Dragon Knights are not an official organization, why are you chasing us away?"

"Haha, sorry, I do have an official identity." Long Xingtianxia said as he suddenly showed his job title [City Patrol Captain].

Then the horn was blown, and dozens of cavalrymen came galloping over immediately, all of them were elite cavalry.

Wind Knight (Howling Wind City Guard): Level 28, HP 820.

The appearance of these dozens of cavalrymen immediately shocked everyone. All of them rushed in front of Long Xing Tian Xia.

"Captain, please give the order!"

Dozens of cavalrymen shouted together, and the momentum was shocking.

"Follow my orders, drive away the crowd and maintain order."

"Here!"

These dozens of cavalrymen immediately formed a formation and dispersed the crowd, joining forces with the players of the Dragon Knights. The momentum of these fifty or sixty cavalrymen running together was even greater, and the surrounding players retreated one after another, and even the masters above level 30 did not dare to stand firm.

Xiao Jie was amazed in his heart, he had already figured out that this 'City Patrol Captain' should be some kind of special high-level job, just like when players were in Ginkgo Village they could be militiamen, only it was more advanced and they could directly lead NPC soldiers out to maintain order in the city.

In the blink of an eye, the Flying Dragon Knights and the Swift Wind Knights cleared a large open space in the square and formed a circle around it.

Long Xing Tian Xia also summoned his mount, which was a black dragon colt with a pair of dragon horns on its head.

He rode his horse around the arena, and then said in a loud voice: "I believe everyone has heard what happened here today. The two players, Yun Xiaoke from the Tianxia Club and Yin Yue Sui Feng, a free player, are going to duel here. I will not comment on the grudges between the two parties, but since it is a life-and-death duel, then we must abide by the rules. No one is allowed to interfere in this duel, otherwise they will be arrested and imprisoned for breaking the law and discipline.

If there are no objections, the duel will begin later."

Naturally, no one would have any objection to this scene.

Long Xingtianxia nodded in satisfaction, "Then I declare that the duel begins! Yun Xiaoke, Yin Yue Sui Feng, please go ahead."

After saying this, he rode his horse and joined the Knights' formation.

The reason why he did this was certainly not because he was bored, but to exercise his power and subtly increase the authority of the Longxiang Knights. As long as everyone acknowledged that the Longxiang Knights had the power to enforce the law, the Longxiang Knights would naturally become the controllers of power in Fengyin Province in the future.

Become an arbitrator between players.

It is precisely to achieve this goal that the Longxiang Knights have trained a large number of military general players. In order to increase their reputation, these generals naturally have to serve in the Fengyin State Guard. Over time, a large number of generals with official positions can be trained.

This would give the Order of the Dragon Knights a semi-official status.

When we slay the dragon and establish a nation in the future, we can take over Fengyin Province and lay the foundation for our hegemony... But these are not things that can be told to outsiders.

At this moment, in the empty square, only Xiao Jie and Yun Xiaoke were left standing opposite each other.

Yunxiaoke (Swordsman): Level 21, HP 450.

Yin Yue Sui Feng (Beast Tamer): Level 15, HP 280.

【System prompt: Yunxiaoke challenges you to a life-and-death duel. Do you accept? Yes/No.

Duel rules: no running away, no surrender, no spells, no elixirs, no magic weapons.

Warning: Being killed in a life-or-death duel is not protected by the system, so please make your choice carefully. 】

Huh? They actually banned everything? Xiao Jie was a little surprised. As for spells and elixirs, he had prepared some, but Yun Xiaoke, who had the support of the guild, was definitely more advantageous. The other party actually banned everything... That was good. He didn't have to worry about what the other party had up their sleeves.

The only difficult thing is the forbidden magic weapon, so the Shura Ghost Mask cannot be used.

However, considering that the other party may also possess magical weapons, let's just ban it.

Xiao Jie summoned Xiong Da first, and then decisively chose to accept it.

A white light flashed, and a duel mark of intersecting swords suddenly appeared above the two men's heads, with a countdown of 10 behind it.

A huge circle of light appeared around the two men. Neither party could escape from this circle of light. In addition, surrender was prohibited. That was to say, even if both parties wanted to stop fighting, one of them had to die today. It was a fight to the death.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding players cheered.

The worst thing about a life-and-death duel like this is that someone would give up halfway through, which would make it meaningless. Now we just have to wait and see the show.

The crowd was talking at this time.

"Two against one, I think Yin Yue Sui Feng may have a chance of winning."

"No chance. There are two core skills above level 20. The bear is too slow. It's just a meat target. It's useless."

"I bet Yunxiaoke will win, who's going to bet against me?"

"Fuck, only a fool would bet with you."

At this time, the two men stood opposite each other, and Xiao Jie's Xiong Da also made a demonstrative roar beside them.

The two of them slowly approached each other, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Yun Xiaoke felt nervous, as this was his first time to have a life-and-death duel. His mind couldn't help but think of the duel scenes in some martial arts movies he had seen in the past. Should he set the mood at a time like this?

Suddenly, Canglang drew his sword from its sheath and said loudly, "This sword is called Ningshuang, weighs three catties and thirteen ounces, and is made of cold iron..."

The surrounding players cheered.

Xiao Jie didn't say anything. When he saw the countdown ended and the names above the two people's heads turned black at the same time, he suddenly switched to a bow and arrow and shot an arrow.

Damn, you’re still playing with the sense of ritual at this time? A life-and-death duel doesn’t require so many details. Winning is everything.

While shooting the arrow, he gave the order, Big Xiong - go!

Yun Xiaoke was annoyed and slightly embarrassed when his lines were interrupted. He easily avoided Xiao Jie's arrow, did a somersault to dodge Xiong Da's pounce, and rushed towards Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie also quickly switched to a single sword with a shield.

The two men approached each other quickly.

Continuous stabs! Yun Xiaoke stepped forward and stabbed with more than ten swords in a row. The damage of this move was not high, but the attack frequency was extremely high. Once it was connected, it could also cause extremely high damage.

Phantom disappeared! Xiao Jie did not hesitate and directly activated the special effects of his sword technique. A time afterimage swung the sword towards Yun Xiaoke, but his real body disappeared instantly.

Yun Xiaoke couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Xiao Jie chose to fight head-on. He had a lot of blood and high attack, so it would definitely be worth it to exchange blood.

However, as the sword passed, Yin Yue Sui Feng in front of him disappeared instantly, and the next second, Xiao Jie's figure appeared out of thin air behind him.

Cut it in two with one sword! Xiao Jie chopped Yun Xiaoke's defenseless back with one sword.
-
92!

The Hanyue Sword is indeed a top-grade weapon, dealing 92 damage with one strike. Of course, it is also related to Yunxiaoke's low defense. Both of them are agile melee professions and are very fragile.

Yun Xiaoke was immediately shocked. What kind of skill is this? Is it a spell? It doesn't make sense. This guy is obviously a beast tamer...

Nine styles of Illusion! Xiao Jie then activated the attack module of the Illusion Divine Sword, trying to connect with a few strikes.

Although Yun Xiaoke was shocked, he reacted quickly. He rolled forward to avoid Xiao Jie's subsequent attack, stood up and turned around to use a blocking technique.

Close the doors and windows!

Ding ding ding! The three consecutive sounds of metal clashing made Yun Xiaoke feel relieved.

This skill of his is very powerful for close-range defense, and now it's my turn!
Combat skill——Wind-chasing Sword!

This is a high-level combat skill. His body flashed and he followed the sword. A shadow flashed by and stabbed straight towards Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was not in a hurry.

He was very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the two. He was six levels lower than the opponent, lacked a core skill, and had a much lower health point. He would definitely be at a disadvantage in close combat. The combat skills he mastered would be more and stronger than the opponent. His biggest advantage was the peerless magic skill of the Illusionary Divine Sword. In this case, he had to maximize the power of this peerless martial art.

If you have a wheelchair, you should use it.

Without hesitation, he used the Phantom Sting again.

Swoosh! Yun Xiaoke pierced through Yin Yue Sui Feng with his sword, but there was no sense of hitting flesh at all, and he immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong.

The next moment, Xiao Jie's figure appeared behind Yun Xiaoke again.

Fighting skill - thrust! The sword hit Yun Xiaoke in the back.

Puff! -67!

Another large amount of health points is lost.

Yun Xiaoke was completely shocked. Was this actually a physical skill? How could it also have a shadow clone? Teleportation plus clone skill?
This is clearly the effect of a spell.

That's not right. I banned all the magical instruments.

In just the blink of an eye, he lost one third of his health.

(No! This can’t go on.)
At this moment, the audience also exclaimed.

"Oh my god, this agility skill is quite strong?"

"What kind of skill is this? I've never heard of it before."

"Could it be the legendary shape-shifting?"

"No, Shapeshift is just fast. This guy also has a phantom clone, which is even more powerful than Shapeshift!"

"Three seconds." A Taoist in a gray robe suddenly whispered in the crowd.

"Three seconds what?" a player nearby asked in confusion.

"Nothing." The Taoist smiled and continued watching the fight.

at the same time--

Xiongba: 3 seconds——behind me!
Yun Xiaoke was stunned for a moment when he saw the private message, but he didn't have time to think about what it meant.

He wanted to create distance with a somersault, but Xiao Jie wouldn't let him do that, so he used his fighting skill - continuous arrows!

Four arrows shot towards me one after another.

Yunxiaoke dodged and evaded in the air, but he only avoided three arrows; the fourth arrow still hit him.
-
13!

The damage was not high, but it made Yun Xiaoke tremble with fear. This was a fight for his life, and because of the forbidden elixir, any less blood would be gone. The palm of his hand holding the mouse was sweating, and he didn't dare to touch it.

The moment he landed, Big Bear pounced on him again.

Awooo! Big Bear roared in a shocking roar! It failed to trigger the shocking effect but it frightened Yun Xiaoke.

Yun Xiaoke had a headache. Although this thing was not a big threat, it was really annoying. Once he was dragged down, he would definitely be chased by the opponent. Moreover, this thing had a lot of blood, with a full 600 health points. It was almost impossible to kill it quickly. He could only dodge again.

Xiao Jie continued to shoot arrows.

Yunxiaoke used two consecutive wind steps to distance himself from Xiongda.

Seeing that Xiao Jie was about to shoot another arrow, he suddenly gathered his strength and swung his sword.

Sword Qi slash! Swish.

This is Yunxiaoke’s confidence. His second profession is a Qigong master. With the core skills of a swordsman, he can condense sword energy before level 30.

Xiao Jie didn't care about the incoming sword energy. The distance was too far, so he didn't even need to use the Vanadium technique. He just rolled over to dodge.

Releasing sword energy at such a long distance is meaningless except for wasting internal energy. This guy is panicking.

Xiao Jie felt relieved. As a veteran player, he could often feel the changes in his opponent's mentality through the details of his operations. He switched to sword and shield and slowly approached Yun Xiaoke as if strolling in the garden.

Sword energy cuts!
The kite turned over!

The two sides were less than ten steps apart.

Sword energy cuts!
No trace!

En Jian Yunxiaoke was delighted when he saw Xiao Jie being cut by the sword energy. The next second he saw the figure disappear under the attack of the sword energy. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart and almost instinctively used the Wind Step forward, but it was still too late.

Cut it off! -94!

Yunxiaoke's Wind Step was interrupted, and he rolled to create distance. Xiao Jie followed with a roll and a rolling knife slash.

Yun Xiaoke was a little at a loss for a moment. At this time, his health was already lower than that of the opponent. He didn't even dare to fight with the sword. He stood up and used light skills to distance himself.

Seeing that the opponent was still full of health, while he only had less than half of his health left, Yun Xiaoke already felt the breath of death.

(Impossible, how can this guy be so strong! I won’t die here, it’s impossible, I’m only 26 years old!) Yun Xiaoke’s hands were shaking, and the screams of those players he had killed in the past before they died all appeared in his mind in an instant.

How happy I was when those idiots begged for mercy.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized the fear contained in the screams, which was the fear of death.

"Wind..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start. He had forbidden himself to surrender.

Xiao Jie was quite pleased at this moment, this was the power of peerless magic skills. Even without using the ultimate skill, dealing with little Karami like a piece of cake.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with one's own exquisite operation.

He walked slowly, with his sword pointing diagonally, approaching Yunxiaoke slowly, looking as nonchalant as a cat playing with mouse.

But Yun Xiaoke only felt dry mouth and tongue. The ghostly body movement effect made Yun Xiaoke feel extremely powerless.

It’s over, it’s over, I’m really going to die - this guy must be cheating.

Xiongba: Three seconds——behind me!
What? Yun Xiaoke suddenly became alert and finally reacted.

So that's it—he gritted his teeth!

Secret - Cloud Dragon Appears Three Times!
This is the real confidence in his heart - the secret, this is the symbol of a master, I don’t believe you can dodge this move.

[Cloud Dragon Appears Three Times: Continuously release three large-scale fan-shaped sword qi, each sword qi causes 20 points of sword qi damage to enemies within a 100-step range. You can freely adjust the attack direction and release frequency of the sword qi...]

A sword energy with a very wide range swept out towards him.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and Xiao Jie rolled over to avoid it.

But the second sword energy followed closely, and this time it could not be avoided.

No trace!

As expected, the figure was instantly shattered by the sword energy.

Yun Xiaoke turned around suddenly, and indeed, Xiao Jie's figure appeared in the air. Without hesitation, he swung out the third sword energy.

At such a close distance, and with the sword energy sweeping across a large area, the opponent would definitely not be able to dodge.

As long as he hits himself, he can follow up with a combo - damn, what's next...

But he no longer needed to think.

The moment the third sword energy swept out, Xiao Jie also attacked at the same time.

Cut in two with one stroke—air splitting flash!

brush!
The vertical knife energy and the horizontal sword energy collided with each other, making a harsh friction sound, and the two sword energies instantly canceled each other out.

(Fuck, this kid can actually release sword energy!) Yun Xiaoke felt a chill in his heart.

He had just used his ultimate move, leaving his defense wide open. If this sword energy had hit the opponent, it wouldn't have been a problem at all, but now it became a fatal flaw.

Xiao Jie took advantage of the situation and the sword light swept over like a whirlwind.

Secret——Sweeping away everything in its path!
What! This is impossible.

Yun Xiaoke didn't know how many times this thought had popped up in his mind.

Not only does he have sword energy, he also has mystical skills...

Is this guy really only level 15?

At this time, Yun Xiaoke still had nearly 200 HP. He originally thought that he could withstand the sword energy even if it forced him, but now -

Swish, swish, swish... Amid the sound of blades cutting into flesh, Xiao Jie's move dealt full damage. Yun Xiaoke was instantly hit by nine swords, triggering the Cold Moon Shining on His Body three times, dealing a total of 227 points of damage, which directly emptied Yun Xiaoke's health bar and also triggered an execution animation.

Xiao Jie landed on the ground and put away his sword. The Yunxiaoke behind him was chopped into ten pieces and shattered all over the ground.
